  1. In diesem Monat sprechen wir in "Random Encounters" über sexuelle Aufklärung und das in Deutschland entwickelte Adventure "Sibel's Journey".

    Die titelgebende, 13-jährige Protagonistin erfährt im Spielverlauf eine ganze Menge über sexuelle Orientierungen, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Konsens, Bedürfniskommunikation und ihre eigenen Vorbehalte. Ob diese Vielfalt sich auch im Gameplay widerspiegelt, erfahrt ihr in unserer ausführlichen Rezension.

  6. 👾 È un po' che non parlo del progetto #EduGames e avevo diversi piani da far partire. Sono riuscito a farne partire uno e gli altri si sono arenati contro gli scogli della vita (sowwy a chi avevo già contattato!) ma quello che è partito sta procedendo abbastanza bene e spero di poterne parlare prestissimo. Per il resto… i fondi mi scadono a ottobre e al momento non ho prospettive di rinnovo né altri bandi in vista.

    💸 Se a qualcuno servono consulenze nel campo (video)giochi educativi, sono qui.

  7. If you want to encourage me to continue working on my edu-game, Slartboz, or, on my FOSS Golang latency library, LatLearn, then the *best* way to do that today -- right now -- on this Giving Tuesday, is to send a small USD tip/donation to me, via CashApp

  8. «I videogiochi fanno male!» urla inferocita la folla di genitori, insegnanti, e… mi sembra anche di vedere dei pediatri. Ma sarà vero? Come dicono il Bardo, il papà di Calvin, i Weight Watchers, e perfino i Bon Jovi: il troppo stroppia. 🧵👇

  10. «Video games do harm!» shouts the angry mob of parents, teachers, and apparently pediatricians too. But is it true? As the Bard, Calvin's dad, Weight Watchers, and even Bon Jovi say: too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. 🧵👇
